Worker roster
Worker job title, department and location from Paychex Flex, used when a payroll question needs the current person.
Paychex Flex + PaperThread
Connect Paychex Flex so PaperThread can answer payroll questions and flag an upcoming pay-period cutoff when Paychex returns a date.
How it integrates with Paychex Flex.
Pay-period cutoffs
PaperThread prefers the submit-by date, then the check date. It does not invent a cutoff when neither date is present.
Allowed updates
Job title, department, location and work email can be updated only where permitted. First name and last name are not written.
Pay stays in Paychex
Salary and bank details are not written back to Paychex Flex. A pay change that Paychex must store stays with a person.
How PaperThread puts that
context to work.
Read context
Answer payroll questions from Paychex Flex workers and pay periods.
Prepare actions
Prepare a follow-up when a confirmed submit-by or check date is approaching.
Route work
Send the next step to the person who owns it.
Update supported items
Update job title, department, location or work email only where permitted. Names, salary and bank details are not written.
Hand off to a person

Common questions, clear answers.
Answers for this connection, including what PaperThread can read and what still needs a person.
It answers payroll questions from Paychex Flex and flags an upcoming pay-period cutoff from a submit-by date or check date. PaperThread does not invent a cutoff date.
Workers and pay periods. A cutoff uses the submit-by date when present, otherwise the check date. Salary and bank details are not written back.
Only where permitted, and only for job title, department, location or work email. PaperThread does not write first name, last name, salary or bank details back.
No. Paychex Flex stays the payroll system. PaperThread uses that record to answer payroll questions, flag a confirmed cutoff, and keep the case with a person when needed.
PaperThread keeps the case open, assigns a human step, and records what still needs to happen. An unsupported Paychex Flex action is not marked done.
A workspace admin enters a Paychex Client ID and Client Secret. The credentials are stored in the credential vault.
